Study Notes
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Ability to explain, solve and apply logical relationships.
- Competence in using sets and relations to solve problems.
- Familiarity with properties of numbers, relations, and functions in problem-solving.
- Understanding and applying inclusion and exclusion principles.
- Skills to resolve problems related to elementary graph theory.
Set Theory
- A set is a well-defined collection of objects or numbers, denoted by uppercase letters.
- Elements of a set are denoted by lowercase letters, represented in curly brackets (e.g., A = {a, b, c}).
- Membership of an element in a set is indicated using ∈ (e.g., a ∈ A) or ∉ (e.g., x ∉ A).
Specifying a Set
- List Notation: Members are listed in curly brackets (e.g., C = {Kshs, USD, Euro, Pound}). Order of elements is irrelevant.
- Predicate Notation: Specifies sets based on shared conditions, useful when complete membership is unknown.
Representation of Relations
- Relations between two sets A and B can be expressed using a matrix, where the entry is 1 if an ordered pair belongs to the relation and 0 if not.
- For sets A and B, the matrix ( M_R ) is an ( m \times n ) grid where ( m ) and ( n ) are the number of elements in sets A and B, respectively.
Matrix Representation Example
- Given A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {r, s}, the relation R defined by ( R = {(1, r), (2, s), (3, r)} ) has the matrix representation: [ M_R = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 1 \ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} ]
Undirected Graph Representation
- Relations can be depicted as directed graphs (digraphs) by drawing circles for each element and using arrows to show connections based on the relation.
Transitive Relations
- A relation is transitive if whenever it contains pairs (a, b) and (b, c), it must also contain (a, c).
- Examples provided to discern transitive properties in relations.
Equivalence Relations
- An equivalence relation is reflexive (every element relates to itself), symmetric (if a relates to b, then b relates to a), and transitive.
- A partial order is reflexive, antisymmetric (if a relates to b and b relates to a, then a must be equal to b), and transitive.
Exercises
- Tasks include providing specific examples of relations based on defined properties (reflexive, symmetric, transitive) and interpreting digraphs.
Linear Homogeneous Recurrence Relation
- Defined as ( a_n = c_1 a_{n-1} + c_2 a_{n-2} + \ldots + c_k a_{n-k} ) for constants ( c_i ).
- Examples illustrate how to formulate a recurrence relation based on a given scenario, such as population change over time.
Applications of Recurrence Relations
- Practice problems set for tasks such as population growth, interest accumulation, and scheduling, demonstrating real-world scenarios where recurrence relations apply.
- Example of population growth initiates with a given amount and growth percentage, establishing foundational computational methods.
